MILL-ROLL MARKER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, 1919.

Application filed July 22, 1918. Serial No. 246,036.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lown E. SIMPSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at College Hill, Cincinnati, Hamilton county, @hio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Mill-Roll Markers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

When the miller sends his corrugated rolls to the shop to be redressed,the old dress is often so far Worn that certain needed facts cannot beobtained from them, and thepresent invention has to do with aconstruction of marker to be applied to the old rolls when they are sentto the shop for redressing.

The present invention will be readily understood from the followingdescription taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in whicFigure 1 is an elevation of an embodiment of my improved marker:

Fig. 2 an elevation of a companion marker of a pair or of the reverseside of a single marker: and

Fig. 3 an elevation of a portion of a millroll bearing my improvedmarker.

In the drawing 1, indicates the body of a roll which is to be assumed ashaving a badly worn corrugated dress:

2, one of its gudgeons: I

8, a marker in the form of an arrow of flexible material applied to thegudgeon:

4:, a binder-wire connected with the marker and adapted to secure it tothe gudgeon:

5, a legend Fast borne by a surface of the marker; and

6, a legend Slow borne by the com panion marker of a pair or by theopposite side of the same marker.

The marker is to be formed of thin metal, or other flexible material,and is of arrow form. It is adapted to be bent around the gudgeon of aroll, the binding-wire serving,

by having its ends twisted together, as means for temporarily securingthe marker in place topics tr this patent may be obtained tor upon thegudgeon. The marker should be secured around the driving gudgeon of theroll, its arrow direction indicatlng the direc tion of motion of theroll. The arrows may be made in pairs of distinctive metals or ofdissimilar colors, or a given arrow may be one color upon one surfaceand another color upon the opposite surface, and the two arrows of apair, or the opposite surfaces of a single arrow, should bear theappropriate legends or be otherwise understood as indi cating whetherthe marker roll is the fast roll or slow roll of a pair. The markersare, of course, intended for temporary employ ment and are susceptibleof re-use.

I claim 1. A mill-roll marker comprising, roll, an arrow of thinflexible material adapted to be bent around the roll-gudgeon, means forbinding the arrow to the gudgeon, and an indication carried by the arrowto show whether the hoarked roll is the fast or slow one of a pair,combined substantially as set forth.

2. A mill-roll marker comprising, a mill roll, an arrow of thin flexiblematerial adapted to be bent around the roll-gudgeon, a binding-wireattached to the arrow and adapted to have its ends secured together totie the arrow to thegudgeon, and an indication carried by the arrow toshow whether the marked roll is the fast or slow one of a pair, combinedsubstantially as set forth.

3. Mill-roll markers comprising, arrows of thin flexible materialadapted to be bent around a roll-gudgeon and formed in pairs ofdistinctive individuals to show which is the fast and which the slowroll of a pair of rolls, and means for binding the arrow to the gudgeon,combined substantially as set forth.
